case I think its more about how being a spoiled brat than were she is from.

Nas.But I'm sure her bad behavior had nothing to do with her race,but everything
to to do with perception of being a diva and just plain bad sportsmanship.

name was at the top of the amateur ranks lists and by the time she was 14, she'd
already turned pro!

Serena turned back around to serve, thought better of it and resumed the
badgering. The chair umpire then called over the line judge to ask what Serena
had said, rules officials were summoned, a brief summit occurred at the net and
it was determined that Serena would be assessed a point penalty for a conduct
violation. The point gave Clijsters the match.

It was unconscionable. It cannot be made at the end of any match, let alone in
the semifinals of the U.S. Open. This isn't because a foot fault is a ridiculous
call at that juncture (even though it is). It's because it wasn't a foot fault.
The replays show that Serena's foot was behind the line when she served. You
could make the argument that it was close but not close enough to make the call.

Wrong as the official may have been, there's a line that to be crossed and
Serena did it pretty early on in her diatribe by saying, "I'm going to shove
this ball down your f------ throat".

and Serena couldn't win a point on her second serve. The end was coming,
Serena's outburst merely hastened its arrival. Maybe that was the point.
